متن کاملMexiletine Prevents Recurrent Torsades€de€Pointes in Acquired Long€QT€Syndrome Refractory to Conventional Measures
RESULTS No recurrence of TdP occurred within 2 h after initiation of treatment with mexiletine in all 12 patients. Macro T-wave alternans accompanied by QT prolongation, an electrocardiographic precursor of TdP that was seen in 3 patients, was also abolished by mexiletine. Treatment with mexiletine shortened the QTc interval from 599 27 ms to 514 16 ms (p 1⁄4 0.001). The interval from the peak ...

متن کاملMethadone-induced Torsades de pointes.
Torsades de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that can quickly evolve into ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This arrhythmia often occurs secondary to medication- induced cardiac repolarization dysfunction with resultant prolonged QTc interval on ECG. Numerous medications can predispose patients to this deadly tachycardia. We report a case of methadone-induced Torsades d...
